FEw things:

1- I can almost pull a pair of 32-32 men's pants over my hips ( this happened with out really trying, then I was intriqued to try again-

2. One of my old friends from school lost 107 lbs! He looked like someone who was related to Dwaine, didn't look like actual Dwaine. He simply started eating right and exersizing.

3. I really dig Nutridiary. I've been using that rather than fit day. It's a little harder to get used to it but I like it better.

I know that only one of these qualified as an NSV, but this thread is about successes. I Feel more success in my attitude and being able to put my hand on my leg while driving and feel the muscle. The scale is slowly sliding in second place in importance.

My husband and I had a bit of a row the other day because I always get stuck shoveling snow. He made a remark that the driveway was too narrow. It irked me because here I am shoveling, which many women won't do, and he says something negative...we talked it out. We car pool and our drivers are having problems getting into the driveway ( I understand ). I also told him that i don't mind doing stuff, but positive feedback is great, and that I need his help.

Many ppl have issue with my shovelingl, being a woman. I am home more and leave later than he does. It makes sense for me to do it...although I don't do it all the time. I am the kind of person that if it has to be done, then get it done. We had a good discussion about it, and he has already improved, complimenting me on my new found cooking efforts and other things. He has never been a complimentary person. He likes to build things, buy, make things;...rather than be verbal about it...

Even though we've been together for almost 8 years, we've been married for almost 2, so I'm still learning a lot.

THank you all for your support and listening to me. I could spend all day on these boards if I had time, trying to give the same amount of support I've received.

PS___Since I'm on here, my salivery gland underneath my jaw on my right side is tender. Has been for about a week..any ideas?

Congratulations on your NSV and way to go on working it out with your husband. I think most men are less likely to be complimentary than women, they just don't think the same in what they say. Sounds like you guys have really reached an understanding though. Good luck with it and let us know how you're doing!
